The excavation of this remarkable cañon has been accomplished by the same agencies operative in other canons, namely, erosion in its varied forms.forms.There is found here, however, a factor not usually known elsewhere and it is to this agency that the peculiar and marvelous effects no- ticed are due. The volcanic rock through which the cañon has been formed is rhyolite, and it has been decomposed by the thermal action of steam and hot water which are prevalent in the cañon the saniesame as in thegeyser basins and elsewhere in the park; To these agencies is also due the high,high. varied, and rich coloring withwith whichwhich thethe wallswalls areare emblazoned.emblazoned. ThroughThrough the decomposition and disintegration of the rhvolite the usual sculptural effects have been greatly accentuated, and in the process of decomposition heat has effected chemical changes in the rock that have produced the vivid and lurid cañon walls thatthat inin thethe sunshinesunshine remindremind one of an awful conflagration. The magnificent river that, in a mad frenzy of white tinged with the natural green of the water, goes tearing over its rocky bottom a succession of rapids and falls, heightensheightens thethe beautybeauty andand grandeurgrandeur ofof thethe scene,scene, for water is always a prominent, rarely a passive, factor in a landscape. Then, looking from most of the projecting angles of the walls toward the head of the cañon the Lower, or Greater, fall adds a dignified and majestic presence to the picture.It is seldom, indeed, that such a mar- riage, or union, of desirable features is found in one landscape. Important adjuncts are the Upper fall and the glorious rapids just above it.These are less than a mile above the Lower fall and are really a part of the cañon proper although the word Grand can, perhaps, not justly be applied to the gorge above the Lower fall.The two falls, the Upper 112, the Lower 310, feet high, are as unlike as can be imagined. The Upper one goes pitching over the brink in a niostmost exultant sort of a way while the other drops into the chasm in a noble, regal manner, the embodiment of repose and dignity.Each fall may be reached by trail and road from the Cañon hotel. Two si(leside trips here are of particular interest.One is across the graceful bridge at the rapids and down the new road to Artist's point, before mentioned.The other is by the new road to the summit of Mount Washburn.This trip will occupy a day and will afford the tourist an entirely new sensation.The road is a fine one that willvill nevernever bebe forgotten. The eastern and northeastern parts of the park are in sight, Yellow- stone lake and the Three Tetons to the south, and Electric peak and Cinnabar mountain to the north, are seen. 4

There is no more attractive feature of scenery than a beautiful lake. \Vhether\Vhether itit bebe foundfound deeplydeeply emboweledemboweled amongamong loftylofty peakspeaks andand crags,crags, nestling within the confines of a sun-kissed valley, or shimmering amid the illimitable wrinkles andand horizonshorizons ofof aa vastvast prairie,praine, itit isis everever andand al-always an important and modifying element of any landscape.It seems to soothe and mollify nature even as it does mankind.Nature's angulari- ties are toned down, its asperities softened.softened, and a lightsomeness and cheer- fulness imparted to whatwhat otherwiseotherwise wouldwould oftenoften l)ebe harsh,harsh, cold,cold, andand for-for- bidding.

And what a new- ness and individuality there is to each and every such lake has recently been borne upon nie.me. Flowing from the eastern slopes of the Cascade range is a stream now well known throughout the west for the benisons it imposes upon a dry and thirsty, but very rich, land by means of irrigation.This river, the Yakima, has its sourcesinthree ofthepurest mountain lakes in the world, each of them in close proximity to the Northern Pacific Railway.Farthest to the west In the "Narrows," LakeLake Kachess.Kachess. lies Lake Keechelus,close to the Stam- pede pass and tunnel, farthest to the east is Lake Clealum, while between the two and nearly equi-distant from each is Lake Kachess, the largest of the three. This fine sheet of water is about seven miles in length by from one to one and one-half miles wide.It is connected with another lake known as Little Kachess, by a short narrow stream known simply as the Narrows.I think that I can write in all truth and soberness that of all the lakes that I have seen, and they are many, Lake Kachess is beyond question the finest of its size.It is, except as to size, in many respects another Lake Chelan, the latter lying farther north among the Cascades, in Washington. It would be hard indeed to exaggerate the wild mountain grandeur and at the same time the simplicity, of this little known body of water. While those resident in its vicinity have known something of this de- lightlightful ful mountainmountain retreat,retreat, thousandsthousands ofof travelerstravelers andand tourists have yearly passed within sight of it, almost, without the least suspicion of its exist- ence. Leaving the railway at Easton, a small station on the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains, a ride of four and one-halfone.half miles brings us to the foot of the lake.From the be- ginning one sees that one is in a region quite out of the ordinary, and as one penetrates farther within its silent spaces this fact

The lodge is beautifully situated among the native forest trees at the edge of the lake.lake, and it commands a glorious view of the entire lake and the encircling mountains.The trees here are giants: large. tall, straight fellows thatthat stretchstretch upwardupward 150 150 or or oo oo feet. feet.

During the tourist season of 1905, a time of the year when nature is all glorious and radiant in the Pacific Northwest, there will be held, at Portland, Ore., what will be, probably, for some time, the last of the series of National expositions which have become so familiar to the country in recent years. That we have had a plethora of expositions and that the public is awearied of them can hardly be gainsaid.For years they have followed each other in steady succession, somewhat varied in detail yet, necessarily, much alike in general character, and some of them so vast in their pro- portions as to tire and surfeit one by their very immensity.While all this is true, there are reasons why the Lewis and Clark exposition has just and meritorious demands upon the country.It is the centennial of the greatest exploring expedition ever sent out by this or any other general government, a fact generally conceded; it is to be held in a part of our country particularly rich in its historical associations; while containing national and international exhibits it will aim, especially, to fur- nish a display of products of all sorts representative of the Far North-

After enjoying life among the splendidly appointed hotels at San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, Redlands, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, and Monterey, one will, naturally, visit San Francisco and the numerous places of interest in the vicinity and then travel north by the Shasta route, one of the most interesting and instructive in the world, to Portland, Ore. Of all California lines none equals the Shasta route.It is the scenic route parparcxcdlle,zceof cxcel/encc of the coast and, in connection with the Northern Pacific and Yellowstone Park forms, beyond all question, the grandest homeward route forCalifornia tourists.

Dwellers on the Atlantic shore can form no conception of such a vision as this.There is no such mountain or view along the whole At- lantic coast and none in Southern California, and here it is one of many, the first of a series of such transcendent and ennobling sights. Itisdifficult for the imagination to picture such a scene as Shasta or Rainier or Hood.

Leaving the vicinity, of Shasta and winding across a region interesting in many ways, we come to the Siskiyou range across which the shining rails lead us. What does the word Siskiyou not mean to those who, loving glorious mountain scenery,scenery. have seen this range!There are many of the component ranges of the Cascades, Sierras, and Rockies thatarehigher,rougher, grander

The ascent and descent of the range is quite contrasting and the windings hither and thither afford us a full set of beautiful panoramic pictures.ProniinentProminent among these from thethe southernsouthern sideside isis Shasta,Shasta, re-re- ceding and sinking into distance as the miles and ascent increase.De- scending into the tipperupper Rogue River valley one is afforded a landscape etching rarely equaled in beauty anywhere, and particularly so if it be a time of year when the greens and yellows of the fields and hills are changing and varied. The second morning after leaving San Francisco the trainrolls across the WillametteWillaniette River bridge and into the fine Union station at Portland, Ore. At Portland there is no end of interesting side excursions to make, and the beautiful city itself will almost surely captivate every traveler. Under the heading "The Lewis and Clark Exposition" in another portion of this work, there will be found suggestions as to what may be seen in the vicinity of Portland. In resuming the journey from Portland. if the tourist wishes a delightful experience in railway travel, he will take the Northern Pacific's "North Coast Limited" eastward.This train is justly calledthe Crack train of the Northwest, an(land eastern travelers vil1vill be more than surprised, most of them, to find that it surpasses, in many respects, the vaunted trains of the eastern railways.

From Portland the Northern Pacific trains run direct to Tacoma and Seattle and Puget sound.En route the train is ferried entire across the broad Columbia river, and Mounts Hood, St. Helens, Adams, and Rainier, all glacial peaks like Shasta, form the accented parts of the landscape.Mount Rainier, more than 14,50014.500 feet in height, is probably the grandest spectacle ofof itsits kindkind inin thethe world.vorld. The Puget Sound region is an intensely interest.interesting one and is growing in population and commer- - cial importance by leaps and bounds.

East of the range lie the Kittitas and Yakima valleys, separated by the cañon of the Yakima river, and rapidly filling up with eastern people seeking a mild, healthful region that is at the same time rich and pro- ductive.Irrigation has metamorphosed this valley.In ares, fertility, abundance of water for irrigation, location for marketing its products, stability and mildness of climate, the Yakima valleyof which the 114 WONDERLAND 1905

Kittitas is really a parthas no superior and perhapsno equal. As Ellensburg is approached Mount Adams is againseen, to the south, rising domelike, white, and clear, highabove all else, a grand monument and forming a noble view. Of these three peaks of the North Pacific coast, opinions will differdiffer as to which is the finest.Shasta, Rainier, as seen when nearing Tacoma from Portland, and Adams, from the Yakima valley, forma puzzling trinity as to which should stand first, second, and third.It can hardly be doubted however that most persons will give precedenceto Rainier. A few years since two youthful friends of mine, sisters and thethe elderelder about entering her teens, were journeyingjotlrneying to Portland from St.Paul. They were closely watching these grand snow peaksas they successively came into view, after leaving Tacoma, and amused themselves, girl-like, in establishing a new nomenclature for them.Mount Rainier thus be- came the "North King," Mount St. Helens the "Snow Queen," Mount

Spokane and its mighty falls are soon reached.This thoroughly modern and vigorous city is the metropolis of the "Inland Empire" and meritsnierits a stop on the part of the wide-awake traveler. Northward lies the Colville valley and the beautiful Kootenai lake, northwestward is glorious Lake Chelan and the Big Bend country, south- ward are the Palouse and Lewiston, or Clearwater, regions, marvelous producers of everything, almost, that will grow in the richest of soils. East from Spokane come the mountains again. Lake Pend d'Oreille, than which there is none more beautiful, and the Clark fork of the Co- lumbia, named after Captain Clark of Lewis and Clark.There is some exceptionally fine river, mountain, and cañon scenery about the lake and along the Clark fork.At the upper end of the valley, near Dixon, one obtains a glimpse of the magnificent Mission range, which borders the eastern shore of Flathead lake, and at whose base, just over the divide from Ravalli, lies St. Ignatius mission of the Flathead Indians. Near Arlee the agency of the Flatheads can be seen, to the north, and the smoke-colored tipis of the Indians dot the scene at frequent intervals. Missoula, just across the southern end of the Mission range and the seat of the University of Montana, is a growing, healthful, progressive place, most beautifully situated at the foot of the Bitterroot valley.Just to the southsouth Lob Lob peakpeak can be seen and along its northern base the Lewis and Clark expedition passe(lpassed in 1805 andand again in 1806.i8o6.

All along this part of the route, in the Gallatin and Yellowstone valleys particularly, the marvelous results of irrigation are again seen. At Livingston those who make the tour of Yellowstone Park leave the main line trains and proceed via the Park branch to Gardiner, at the edge of the park.This is the official entrance to the park, the point where the $ro,000 lava arch was erected by the Government, and it is only five miles from MamniothMammoth Hot Springs the capital of the park. Of all that there is to be seen along the Shasta-Northern Pacific route the Yellowstone park stands at the head.It is the supreme scenic drama of the world and an elaborate account of its marvelous wonders will be found elsewhere in this volume. The 340-mile ride along the Yellowstone river is full of interest as regards scenery, the startling effects of irrigation, and the historical associations.It may be stated here, that almost one-half of the entire distance txaveledtraveled onon thethe NorthernNorthern PacificPacific isis besidebeside streamsstreams andand lakes.lakes. Just east of Livingston, at Springdale, are Hunter's Hot Springs, well known for the virtue of their waters. An historic landmark along the Yellowstone river is Pompey'sPonipey's Pillar, near the station of that name.It is a prominent sandstone rock, north of the track, climbed and namednamed byby CaptainCaptain ClarkClark inin 18o6,'8o6, and on which he roughly carved his name which is yet visible. Leaving the Yellowstone, the train crosses an elevated plateau, a fine grazing country, descends to the Little Missouri river, winds through the bright-colored Badlands, and reaches the Missouri river once more, at ManclanMandan and Bismarck.Bisrnarck. here the riveris a far (lifferent stream from what it is at the Three Forks, near Logan, Mont.
